The limited cognitive capacity test for fitness to stand trial made its first appearance in the Court of Appeal for Ontario's decision in R v Taylor. The test only requires that an accused can recount the facts to their defence counsel sufficiently for counsel to mount a proper defence at trial. The question of whether the accused is capable of making decisions in their own best interests is not to be considered. 1, record 1, English, - limited%20cognitive%20capacity%20test

D'ailleurs, [un juge] amène le critère d'une capacité cognitive limitée de comprendre le processus et de communiquer avec un avocat. Il précise que cette capacité cognitive limitée n'est pas celle permettant à un accusé de prendre des décisions rationnelles et avantageuses pour lui. En d'autres mots, il n'est pas nécessaire qu'un accusé soit capable de recourir à un raisonnement analytique pour choisir d'accepter les conseils d'un avocat ou prendre une décision qui sert le mieux ses intérêts. 1, record 1, French, - crit%C3%A8re%20de%20la%20capacit%C3%A9%20cognitive%20limit%C3%A9e
